šŸ—£ Gigs

Great pics 'Slowlane!

As for Explosions, they were brilliant. Itā€™s quite a new experience (for me, at least) to go to a gig and here a few words at the start

ā€œHi, weā€™re from Texas. Thanks for giving us the opportunity to play such an incredible venueā€.

And then not a single word for their hour and a half set.

I started a more in depth review, itā€™s something I feel I want to write. But thereā€™s a lot there, they are a band of significant personal importance. I drafted something, and it got too long, and personal. Itā€™d be boring for anyone else to read.

So, just that it was an intensely emotional experience, and thoroughly enjoyable at that.

Wow, that sounds like a special night KRG. It wouldnā€™t bore me if you posted your review, but Iā€™d understand if it was too personal.

'slowlane Iā€™m very jealous. Saw them on the last tour in London which was stunning. The brass section is amazing live. By the way, that pic needs to go on Intinikiā€™s gig photos thread. Also can I have Sueā€™s number (asking for a friend).

Iā€™d read it KRG!

No you wouldnā€™t - youā€™d just stare blankly at the pictures until something shiny distracted you.

Yep sheā€™s a honeyā€¦Iā€™ll ask Vinny, her husband who was taking the picture. I think your friend might not be lucky. :lou_wink_2:

OK I shall give it a crack. Itā€™ll have to wait til next week, off to Berlin on a stag as we speak - so this may be dependent on me coming back in one piece.

Got my tickets yesterday for Kasabian at the King Power stadium. It is going to a huge party thatā€™s for sure!

I see that his wife has finally decided to leave him.

Oh! Gigs!!

This month, Richard Ashcroft at the Roundhouse, Dave Gorman for some laughs, and end with Common People in Southampton. Looking forward to seeing Duran Duran who I had posters of as a child (I was probably about 8 or 9 years old). Also going to the theatre! To see the Maids. Vod from Fresh Meat and Crazy eyes from Orange is the New Black along with Lady Edith from Downton are in the play. I probably should learn their real names.

Would love to see Duran Duran again. Loving them at the moment. Same for the other 2 you mention. Nice treble that!

Not sure what the Maids is, but will check it out!

Saw Lee Nelson, suited and booted at Dorchester Arts centre/corn exchange last Friday. The guy is such a quick wit. Most of the show was interaction with the small audience. A few predictable jokes thrown in, but most of it was fairly off the cuff stuff. Would definitely go see again as highly unlikely to see two shows the same using that format.

Off to see Maverick Sabre at The Engine Rooms on Saturday night :lou_lol:

Saw him at V Festival a few years back. Now work with his sister.

Not got any gigs planned for a while, though now have tickets for both Common People and 2000 Trees Festival.

Only interested in one act at Common People i.e. Public Enemy, but who can say no to a festival when itā€™s 10 minutes walk from your flat?

After-party at mine! :lou_lol:

Just back from Maverick Sabre at The Engine Rooms.

He was v. good. Just him and an acoustic guitarist.

At some point when I am more sober I will do a review comparing this with Sleaford Mods :lou_wink_2:

Richard Ashcroft at the Roundhouse last night was superb. Apart from a bloody pillar blocking my view for nearly all of the night. He did his old stuff, some new stuff and some Verve stuff. Definitely would go see again. His guitarist was fantastic.

Father John Misty this Friday.

So just to check. Would it be useful to have a comedy gig section? Do many others head to see comedians? I went to see Dave Gorman who showcased 4 other comedians who were all really good and thought maybe we could have a section to share some of our finds.

Thoughts - yay or nay?
